Mother’s Day reminded me of how my mom’s sense of style influenced me. As a young boy I didn’t give too much thought to my mom’s dresses and outfits. But over time, I grew to appreciate the “Oh wow!” factor that came with femininity. While style can’t be inherited it is something that can be observed, appreciated and learned. Parenting is hard work and messy most times but I like how my mom and Sunan strive to balance fashion and motherhood. Incidentally, I photographed the mother/daughter duo on Mother’s Day last year. Click Sunan & Sienna to see what they wore last year. Incidentally, Sunan isn’t a model. She’s the founder of a local financial technology company.

Several of these images will be featured in the Community section of the Asian Pacific Post newspaper.
